It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S3

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

I own an HTC one X ATT, I wanted to love it and gave it a good run, but HTC truly wrecked it. Its unbelievable how many problems there are with this phone. The button hardware design is awful, it doesn't multi task, almost all the units have horrible data issues (with two units I traded out and two sim cards a piece and we couldn't fix it). About 25% of the time my texts bounce due to the radio management software. I'm so disappointed, great camera, great display tho...

I placed my SG3 order today on expansys, sadly my HTC is going back

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

The HOX doesn't multitask. I own it. Therefore, it is not better than the S III.

I will agree with this. I own one and no matter what anyone says around here, the HOX simply does not multitask at all. I've tried numerous ones at a number of different stores and they all suck at it. There is almost no way that the GSIII is not a better phone. Anyone who thinks I'm exaggerating can go to an at&t store and see for themselves. The GSIII can't get here soon enough.

This thread is awesome! Clearly we have some fanboys here.

Reading the reviews of the SGSIII it is pretty clear that the One X is better. Samsung just didn't do enough right with the SGSIII to take the crown.

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

Believe me I wanted to love that HTC One X, the screen and device is awesome to look at and the camera rules, but at the end of the day you can't have ALL these software issues and ship a unit like this. The HTC forum has nothing but complaints and I've never seen a page with it that bad before. The multitasking issue has become a huge liability for HTC and they said they would fix it, but why release it with such a glaring issue. Its like a bad meal at a restaurant, you'll never go back. This is a huge nail for them on the heels of the SG3, especially if the SG3 is a more polished device on release and it probably will be. Such a shame too, I liked the sense overlay and while mine didn't crash many people are complaining its crashing on them. The data connection problem did it for me, While my nexus had data issues it wasn't no where NEAR as bad as this product...this is three fold... data, wifi AND bluetooth issues and its not contained....its widespread. Four of my friends got them and all four took them back and went back to there skyrocket and iphones....imagine that

About the multi tasking....

I find I do it alot, most times on accident. Whether it's hitting the capacitive keys by mistake, the screen locking. Sometimes I just have to do something else. Like answer the phone.

For me it would be a headache. Like using this app i'm typing in.....I like that I can come back and my incomplete post is still waiting for me. At the same time one forum has an app that doesn't do that.

Some of us might use multi tasking without really knowing it.

And I absolutely love multi tasking on my Vita. Leaving a game where it is and being able to come exactly back to where I left off is beautiful.

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

the gs3 looks better to me, the one x is kinda ugly and with no pizaz as far as looks go. the s3 looks much sleeker. that two tone crap is fugly. time will tell which is best, and it will be s3.

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

one x is mostly hype, i rather have evo lte over one x. only reason one x is getting hype because it is the only new highend out now in u.s. other than evo lte, which is not really getting its praise. s3 not even here yet and is talked about more than both. ppl got their one x but instead of hearing about its functions or something new it does, all you here is samsung hate talk. hell you shoulda held out for the true beast ha! wait for the vs videos. one x owners will be sick, trading in their phones for the s3.

AND AGAIN... Samsung Galaxy S3 pounds HTC One X into benchmark dust | CNET UK

I like benchmarks, no, it isn't a tell all, but it is certainly interesting for hardware geeks....

It's all personal preference. That said, the energy efficiency of the One XL on AT&T is a particularly appealing aspect of that device. The S4 is really well thought out from an architectural perspective in my humble opinion.

Wow, someone saying nice things about both phones?

Yes, I would expect most will be happy with either of these 2.
I plan on the GS3 myself.
When ATT gets around to it!

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

Garsh! Im not surprised the one x was not all it was hyped up to be by mostly htc fanboys and bias comments. Now the truth is coming out, the phone is horrid! One x reminds me of n1 and that thing was ugly. Sg3 looks more polished, sleek and smooth, with a nice finiah. while the one has that old nexus1 shape and two tone which is ugly. and the negative feedback is coming from one x owners themselves talking how one x sucks. I know sg3 will probably have a few issues, but not like what you hear of the infamous, notoriously buggy one x bwaha! I told you they would ditch one x and go sg3. and if there on sprint, they can go evo lte or sg3. sorry one x owners, better take that paper weight bck and get a real, reliable phone js. im waiting to see what drops in 4qtr yezzir.

You are aware the EVO is almost the same phone as the AT&T One X, right? Only differences are construction, the CDMA modems in the S4 are turned on as opposed to the GSM ones, and the EVO has a slightly bigger battery...right?

I have nothing against the GS3 mind you, but some of the rumored US variants are Snapdragon S4 as well. We don't know how the Exynyos plays with LTE modems yet. It could still be a problem. We'll see when final release specs come out on the US versions.

I guess evening boils down to personal preference about the varied features in the devices...

I'm happy with the One X, and I don't see any reason to change to the S3. I'm gonna trust the OTA updates that'll come out in the future to end any bugs or other things. (Personally, I don't like the way my phone compresses the camera pics, there should be an option to have uncompressed pictures too)

And I read this : http://www.engadget.com/2012/05/25/...iew/?utm_medium=referral&utm_source=pulsenews
It's not the definitive review, but a step in that direction.

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

After having used it I have to say the One X looks even better than it does in pictures. It's an incredibly sleek and well designed phone with a screen to match. But I was not so impressed with its software.

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

After seeing both of these phones ,I chose the Google GN, that will hold me till the next Nexus. Good luck ever seeing Jelly Bean on either the OneX or the S3. The money played an important part as well. The HTC was $150 to $200 more.

I would like to see both of these phones without the skins.If at some point the price reaches $500 or so for either of these phones then I would take a hard look again.

Re: It is obvious that the HTC One X is a better phone than the S

I think engadget had unrealistic expectations for the s3, and from day one at the sammy event when those expectations were not meet it left a bad taste in their mouths. I think it kind of clouded their judgement of the s3. I have read at least 5 reviews on the device including Gsmarena and Phonearena who both concluded that the s3 is slightly better. Why i’m inclined to trust them more is that they in no way diminish the onex but gave the s3 the edge. Not so engadget. They give the OneX the nod but unjustly bash some of the s3 features. And really who died and made them the definitive review site on the web.

I'm not not impressed with the EVO LTE. I currently own one after using it I'm switching back to SGS24GT

To answer that last sentence...ppl that frequent their site.....lol. One site I use faithfully is Anandtech. Not really too much bias, and they get really in depth with reviews.

Phone arena is another I use more than others.

I rarely go to Engadget now. Don't really go to that spin off site by former Engadget employees either.

Both phones without the skins would be two boring phones. This is why android is so great because it gives us choices. You like vanilla android, and you made the right choice by getting the Galaxy Nexus. I want my phone to be packed with features, so I will getting the SG3, and I want a phone with a menu button.

Samsung would not have 9M preorders if they released the S3 as vanilla android phone with no features,
